The Bangalore-based information technology (IT) services company has received as many as 2,650 ideas under the initiative and plans to execute many of those after evaluation.
One of the first initiatives mooted by Sikka, while he was still the CEO-designate, murmuration aims at crowd-sourcing ideas from employees, which they believe could benefit the company.
These ideas could range from improvement in delivery, process improvement to skills enhancement. The ideas could also include any innovation that employees believe can be brought to the work place, or a skill that they are willing to teach others.
The word murmuration, as Sikka had explained in some of his earlier media interactions, is the natural phenomenon when large flocks of starling birds come together in an acrobatic mass. Sikka had explained that the initiative is to orchestrate the company's vast employee base to win orders, return to high growth, and build new applications.
While the details of the ideas that employees came up with are not known yet, sources within Infosys said the company is trying to implement all ideas that have been suggested. The firm is also setting up a task force of senior executives to implement these ideas.
"Many of these ideas are extremely good, some are average, and some might not be implementable," said a senior source at the company. "We are forming a task force comprising senior people from various departments to evaluate these, and we will try to implement all of those."
Infosys has hosted these ideas on its internal network, where employees can rate them.
The last date for casting their votes is September 19. "Join the Murmuration and help us find out those ideas which will tie into our strategy," Infosys said in an internal email to employees on Tuesday. The email was sent out seeking employees to vote for the ideas.
